I was just wondering if it was dangerous because he has never been in the black but I was talking to someone on the FB group and they told me it was a bounce and to check for ketones.Just the number freaks me out

Yes I check ketones everyday. And thanks for making me feel better .The black could be the high before the bounce clears. It’s already coming down a little. Do you do ketone checks? While we all hate to see high bg but if it is the result of a lower than usual bg which this is and no ketones it’s not a worry.
I have a question for you if Bailie is really low tomorrow what should I do ? Hold off on the food for 20 mins and check again and if he is going up give the 2.75 ?The black could be the high before the bounce clears. It’s already coming down a little. Do you do ketone checks? While we all hate to see high bg but if it is the result of a lower than usual bg which this is and no ketones it’s not a worry.
Thank youI Hope Bailie feels better soon.

Last night he got 3 and then this morning because he was 4.4 he was reduced to 2.75 so u are saying he should be reduced further tomorrow morning to 2.50 ? I don’t get it he was already reduced . I’m not being mean I just don’t get why he would be reduced again when he was already reduced this morning.so you mean to say he doesn’t get 2.75 anymore ,he went from 3 to 2.75 now he goes down to 2.50 tomorrow morning? Is that correct?
Oh my goodness I’m so so sorry I will never do that again , my bad .Thanks @Christie & Maverick for the heads up. @Nancyco* I've combined your three threads of the day into one. We ask that you stick to just one thread for each day that you post. Otherwise you get conversation on multiple threads and it's harder to follow. If you have new updates/questions/concerns as the day goes on, just edit the subject line with the new information/question. To do that, go up to your first post of the day, and there is a Thread Tools drop down that allows you to change the prefix and text of the subject line. Thank you.
I agree with Elise, his new dose is 2.5 units as per SLGS.
So tomorrow he starts a new dose of 2.50 ?He just had a dose reduction this morning.Thanks @Christie & Maverick for the heads up. @Nancyco* I've combined your three threads of the day into one.

Good questionLast night he got 3 and then this morning because he was 4.4 he was reduced to 2.75 so u are saying he should be reduced further tomorrow morning to 2.50 ? I don’t get it he was already reduced . I’m not being mean I just don’t get why he would be reduced again when he was already reduced this morning.
But I gave him 2.75 for lasts night dose Dec 19 .i didn’t know it had to be reduced again so do I go ahead and still give the 2.50 this morning ? I just tested him at +9 after pm dose and he’s 19.3Good questionI can see why that might be confusing. The reduction to 2.75u was due to the later nadir from last night, which was around this morning’s shot time. Then as the am cycle progressed on the reduced 2.75u you saw 61 at +6 so because he dropped agin this new cycle under 90 you would reduce again, following SLGS by 0.25u to for this evening, regardless if whether you just took a reduction. Does this make sense?
Yes. Every drop below 90 is a reduction. He is just bouncing from the lows. His dose will be 2.5U.But I gave him 2.75 for lasts night dose Dec 19 .i didn’t know it had to be reduced again so do I go ahead and still give the 2.50 this morning ? I just tested him at +9 after pm dose and he’s 19.3
I’m terrified he will be high all day again what if I hadn’t had tested that time and didn’t know he dropped again .I’m sorry I’m not trying to be difficult . Also yesterday I dropped the Lantus bottle in,the fridge day about 2 feet ,you think that will be ok ?Yes. Every drop below 90 is a reduction. He is just bouncing from the lows. His dose will be 2.5U.
Thank youYou're doing very well, and good for you for canceling your appointment when you saw that your kitty needed extra support. That's amazing that you did that. You should feel very proud of yourself right now![]()
